Oh memememe!

I get mine in June. I'll get the perfect upgraded batch. While you guys suffer on the first batch of bugs and issues!

Muahahahahaha! I can wait until June!! Because it'll be better! :eek::confused:

:apple:

I was just wondering who ordered on April 10, 42mm Stainless Steel Apple watch with Milanese loop and have you been charged yet for it? Has a delivery estimate of 5/13/15 to 5/27/15

No charge yet for me, or preparing for shipping

Also I live in Illinois (If that makes any difference)
 
Being in charge of retail, she has to be involved with every aspect of the supply chain. If she is not involved in these decisions, then her position has no meaning.
No doubt that she doesn't have any supply chain decisions, but for her to not be informed and that only a few have insight and decisions does not ring true.
True, from Apple's stand point, this isn't bad, but if you were informed that to receive your product in a timely fashion that you had to order within a certain time frame to ensure a timely delivery and you met those provisions, then you should be relativity assured of product delivery .
As I said, this isn't directly on Angela. Doubtful that she executed the supply chain strategy--there are a large amount of people who make these decisions that Anglea doesn't even see.

From Apple's end, this isn't a botch. They gave the shipping window and I was one of the unlucky ones who aren't getting their watch tomorrow despite ordering before some of the other people on the same SKU. The reality of retail. This isn't a situation in which they oversold something.

So far, there hasn't been a pattern of locales that were delayed--perhaps billing address is different than shipping--there are so many variables that happen with supply chain. With how systematic Apple is, I'm sure the lack of reason on our end, has some logic behind it.

This how she's involved with supply chain: SVP of Supply Chain sends an email updating her on the status based on what his people are doing. With all the things happening with the store setup, revamps, and PR, it's not unreasonable to think that someone else is owning this. However, it is incredibly unrealisitc to think that she's that deeply involved with supply chain and logistics beyond what I described above.

Sure, she may have knowledge of this, but her position isn't meaningless because she's not involved. There are reasons there are people at higher levels/paygrades that are in charge of this stuff. Angela simply is the person over all of these people, making sure they do their job; the execution is on their end.

She's admitted that the store level, there is a ton of confusion, and that's on her. Online expectations, that's on her to. Supply chain issues? Blame this guy:
